SEGA is constructing a new UK development studio to focus on next-generation racing titles based on some of the publisher's most successful IP, including Crazy Taxi and SEGA Rally, according to a report in UK trade mag MCV.

"There was an opportunity for us to capitalise on the potential [of our IP] by working with the very best people in the industry to move these franchises onto next-gen technology," head of senior product development Guy Wilday commented.

"The studio will concentrate on innovative new iterations of existing franchises and on the development of new game IP, not ports of existing franchises," he added. A job advert for the new "Racing Studio" indicated that successful applicants will be working on titles including SEGA Rally - a seemingly unrelated PlayStation 2 version of which is currently under way in Japan - and Crazy Taxi.

SEGA is currently scouting locations for premises and building a core team. "Locating the studio in the centre of the country is the ideal positioning to attract the best development talent from both studios in the south and north of England," Wilday noted.

SEGA of Europe said it had nothing to add to the report carried by MCV.

SEGA RALLY AND CRAZY TAXI TO COLLECT MORE FARES

New specialist Sega studio to develop next-gen racers

15:53 Sega is gearing up for next-gen versions of some of the company's most beloved racing titles.
A report on trade publication MCV's website reveals that the European arm of Sega is currently setting-up a dedicated 'Racing Studio' in the centre of the UK, with the new studio focusing solely on next-gen product based on existing Sega franchises.

What are the titles being bandied about? It looks like further incarnations of Sega Rally and Crazy Taxi are definitely on the cards with the company already mentioning both titles in job ads to lure potential employees to the new studio.

Sega of Europe has already proven its skills in the racing sector with the successful Xbox port of OutRun 2 by the Sheffield-based developer Sumo Digital
